Bakgrund: Ospecifik ländryggssmärta är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till att man söker hjälp inom primärvården. För långvarig, ospecifik ländryggssmärta är träning ett förstahandsval och fokus har under det senaste årtiondet legat på bålstabiliserande träning. Psykosociala faktorer som self-efficacy och rörelserädsla kan vara viktiga att beakta vid behandlingen då de spelar en roll i hur ländryggssmärtan utvecklas. Syfte: Att undersöka hur skattad smärta, self-efficacy och rörelserädsla samt funktionsnivå förändrades hos enskilda patienter med långvarig, ospecifik ländryggssmärta under och efter en intervention i grupp med bålstabiliserande träning. Metod: Designen var en A-B-A single-subject design (SSED).

Antalet äldre i världen ökar och den äldre befolkningen blir allt friskare. Trots detta är det sällsynt att äldre klarar sig själva till livets slut. Då det inte är möjligt att tillgodose de äldres behov i hemmet har samhället ansvar att erbjuda plats på särskilt boende. Beroende av andra innebär inte att de äldres livskvalitet behöver reduceras och det har påvisats att ökad ålder och låg livskvalitet inte är sammankopplade med varandra. Syftet med studien var att beskriva vad livskvalitet är för äldre på särskilt boende.

Syftet med studien var att beskriva vilka interventioner arbetsterapeuter använder sig av för att personer med psykiska funktionshinder ska kunna vara delaktiga i dagliga aktiviteter. För att besvara syftet valdes en litteraturbaserad studie som kan ge en fördjupad kunskap inom det valda området. Denna studie är en litteraturöversikt som syftar till att beskriva befintlig kunskap. Data insamlades genom sökningar i databaser. Sökningen resulterade i tolv utvalda artiklar som analyserades vidare utifrån en manifest kvalitativ innehållsanalys som beskriver det synliga och faktiska innehållet i artiklarna.
